鋁板的可塑性和多樣性:7棟建筑原有的鋁板都是巧妙的鋁制細節。這種昂貴而不堅固的金屬直到20世紀初才被用于建筑用途。鋁在建筑中的首次廣泛應用是在帝國大廈(1930-1932)。塔身結構和塔尖部分由鋁材料制成，入口、電梯門、裝飾板和6000多個窗拱等部件也由鋁材料制成。
　　Plasticity and Diversity of Aluminum Plates: The original Aluminum Plates of seven buildings are ingenious details of Aluminum. This expensive and unstable metal was not used for construction until the early 20th century. Aluminum was first widely used in architecture at the Empire State Building (1930-1932). The tower body structure and the spire are made of aluminium, and the entrance, elevator doors, decorative panels and more than 6000 window arches are also made of aluminium.
　　作為一種材料，鋁具有優異的強度重量比，這意味著鋁制成的外墻系統可以比鋼板更小。現代鋁也支持沉重的玻璃跨度的重量，較大限度地提高了建筑利用自然陽光的能力。該金屬及其合金組合物重量輕，經久耐用，耐腐蝕，可無限期使用。據統計，目前仍有近75%的鋁產品在使用中。
　　As a material, aluminium has excellent strength-weight ratio, which means that the exterior wall system made of aluminium can be smaller than steel plate. Modern aluminium also supports the weight of heavy glass spans, maximizing the building's ability to utilize natural sunlight. The metal and its alloy compositions are light in weight, durable, corrosion resistant and can be used indefinitely. According to statistics, nearly 75% of aluminium products are still in use.
　　為了探索鋁結構及其細節，我們收集了一系列的項目來展示一些世界上較具創新性的建筑師如何在現代建筑項目中使用鋁。
　　To explore the structure and details of aluminium, we have collected a series of projects to show how some of the world's most innovative architects use aluminium in modern architectural projects.
　　荷蘭先鋒公司MVRDV的平衡谷倉坐落在英國薩福克郡索林頓一個美麗的湖邊。谷倉通過其建筑和工程回應了場地條件和自然環境。傳統的谷倉形狀和反射金屬板是對當地建筑的借鑒。從某種意義上說，平衡谷倉的目的是實現重新訪問鄉村的教學目的，同時也使現代建筑變得觸手可及。
　　The balanced barn of MVRDV, a Dutch pioneer company, is located on a beautiful lake in Solington, Suffolk, UK. The barn responds to the site conditions and natural environment through its buildings and projects. The traditional shape of the barn and reflective metal sheet can be used for reference in local architecture. In a sense, the purpose of balancing barn is to realize the teaching purpose of re-visiting the countryside, and at the same time make modern architecture accessible.

                        
　　在中間，谷倉開始懸掛在斜坡上，而結構在中央混凝土核心上保持平衡，地面部分由比懸臂部分更重的材料制成。建筑的長邊被樹木隱藏得很好，為谷倉內外提供了遮蔽。外部覆蓋了反射金屬板，像坡屋頂一樣，利用當地的建筑環境作為參考來反映自然環境和變化的季節。
　　In the middle, the barn began to hang on the slope, while the structure remained balanced on the central concrete core, and the ground was made of heavier material than the cantilever part. The long side of the building is well hidden by trees, providing shelter for the inside and outside of the barn. The exterior is covered with reflective metal sheets, which, like sloping roofs, use the local building environment as a reference to reflect the natural environment and the changing seasons.
　　由Handel architects設計的康涅狄格州新迦南多功能建筑和景觀項目，為人們提供了一個體驗自然、體驗藝術、追求正義、培育社區和探索信仰的開放空間。薩那的靈感來自于建筑作為景觀中的一條河流的想法，盡管這個元素沒有被注意到，結果是一個優雅的建筑，重新思考了建筑和景觀之間的關系。
　　The New Canaan Multifunctional Architecture and Landscape Project, designed by Handel Architects, provides an open space for people to experience nature, experience art, pursue justice, nurture communities and explore beliefs. Sana'a was inspired by the idea of architecture as a river in the landscape. Although this element has not been noticed, the result is an elegant building that rethinks the relationship between architecture and landscape.
　　Grace farm的河流項目以玻璃和鋼條的形式漂浮在丘陵景觀之上。與Zahner合作，SANAA想要將建筑帶入生活，使其成為自然的一部分。該建筑結合了庇護所、圖書館、庭院、公共空間和鋁屋頂下的露臺。屋頂采用雙曲率板系統，由標準尺寸的外部陽極氧化鋁板組成。該項目使用了一個輕量級的系統，通過幾個定制的鋁型材在鋁殼之間形成一個通道。在這里，漂浮的鋁板提供了面板之間的視覺過渡。
　　Grace farm's River project floats above the hilly landscape in the form of glass and steel bars. Working with Zahner, SANAA wants to bring architecture into life and make it part of nature. The building combines shelters, libraries, courtyards, public spaces and terraces under aluminium roofs. The roof adopts a double curvature plate system, which consists of standard size external anodic alumina plates. The project uses a lightweight system to form a channel between aluminum shells through several customized aluminum profiles. Here, floating aluminium panels provide a visual transition between panels.
